As a pastor of Mountain Top Cowboy Church I have discovered that
there is little material designed specifically for cowboy churches
or cowboy ministries. Although I have been in the ministry for 14
years I had never considered writing a book however the Lord had
other plans. In October of 2009 I broke my leg while competing at a
40 and over bull riding which required surgery. I do not believe
that it was God's plan for me to ride a bull at the age of 46 but
this book is an example that the Lord will use every situation we
are in for good if we will allow Him to use us. During my time of
recovery I started writing poems and short stories about my rodeo
days then it turned to cowboy poetry. In the beginning it was a way
to pass the time and deal with my situation. As I continued to
write I began to relate my poems to scripture and it was then that
the Lord truly began to use them to reach others. After sharing a
few with my church I discovered that they could be a useful tool in
cowboy churches and ministries or those in the western culture.
This book of poems and proverbs is just another example of the
Lord's Grace and Mercy in my life; it is because of His love that I
am On The Trail
F or as long as he can remember, Dusty McFarland has wanted to
become a Texas Ranger, to follow in the footsteps of his father,
Ranger Captain Laughlin McFarland. Now that he's turned eighteen,
Dusty achieves that goal and, with his mother's blessings, is sworn
in as a ranger. His father reminds him that his duties are to love
the great state of Texas and to protect her with his life. Dusty
understands the dangers and knows that each gunfight could be his
last.
From the moment Dusty receives his star, he and his father do
their best to uphold the law by tracking criminals and bringing
them to justice. Their adventures include finding Dusty's blood
brother, Tony, and trying to clear him of rustling and murder
charges. They meet up with T-Bone, a dimwitted giant of a man who
is teamed with the ruthless Billy Driskell. They hunt now El
Diablo, a psychotic loner who kills and rapes for pleasure.
The third novel in a trilogy celebrating the tradition and
legacy of the Texas Rangers, " Ranger Winds: The Last Ride" shows
how the Rangers lived a life with demands that only a few good men
could meet.

'It's as if Herman Melville had navigated the American West, instead of the ocean.' The Nation
Håkan Söderström is a man who has become a legend. Giant in size, rumoured to be bloodthirsty and fearless, he is known simply as the Hawk .
But behind this myth is a tale of longing and survival. As a young man he is sent from Gothenburg with his brother Linus, to seek their fortunes in New York. In the chaos of the port, he is separated from Linus and finds himself instead on a ship bound for California. Determined to find Linus, Håkan sets out on a journey east, moving against the tide of history, experiencing the Gold Rush and its effects, encountering capitalists and colonialists, explorers and early scientists, and witnessing the formation of America and the betrayal of its dream.
This is the story of a stranger in a strange new land, looking out onto the vast landscape in confusion, fear and wonder. As Håkan confronts desert and mountains, heat and ice, he is thrown between the threat of violence and devastating loneliness - all the while keeping the image of his brother, and the hope of companionship, in the distance.
'A gritty, dreamy anti-western western... Surreal, cerebral, and affecting beyond what I thought possible.' LitHub
